Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Activity Is Related to the Level of Central Arousal: Effect of Sleep Deprivation on the Association of High-Frequency Waking Electroencephalogram with Cortisol ReleaseChapotot F. · Buguet A. · Gronfier C. · Brandenberger G.
aLaboratoire des Régulations Physiologiques et des Rythmes Biologiques chez l'Homme, Institut de Physiologie, Faculté de Médecine, ULP, Strasbourg, et bUnité de Physiologie de la Vigilance, Département des Facteurs Humains, Centre de Recherches du Service de Santé des Armées 'Emile Pardé', La Tronche, France
The temporal and quantitative interrelationships between the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity and the level of central arousal were studied in 10 healthy young men during daytime wakefulness. Two experimental sessions were conducted randomly between 09.00 and 18.00 h, once after nocturnal sleep and once after a night of total sleep deprivation. Spectral analysis of serial waking electroencephalography (EEG) from a short target fixation task repeated every 10 min was undertaken, along with an estimation of cortisol secretory profiles by deconvolution of plasma radioimmunoassay measures obtained from continuous blood withdrawal with regular sampling at a 10-min interval. Following nocturnal sleep, a temporal association between the HPA axis activity and the waking EEG activity was found, cortisol secretory rate following changes in frontal gamma (20–45 Hz) band power by 10 min (average R = 0.458, p < 0.001). Although it remained significant (average R = 0.276, p < 0.05), the association strength decreased significantly following total sleep deprivation (p < 0.05, Wilcoxon test). Cortisol plasma level, secretory rate and pulse amplitude were increased as well as waking EEG power in the delta (0.5–5.5 Hz), theta (5.5–8.5 Hz) and gamma frequency bands (all p values <0.05, Student t tests). The sleep deprivation-related increases in cortisol secretory rate and waking EEG gamma activity were quantitatively associated (R = 0.504, p < 0.05). These results support the existence of a common ultradian regulatory mechanism, co-ordinating HPA axis activity to the level of central arousal in man, which seems involved in the sleep deprivation-induced hyperarousal.

Pirelli open to experimentation
Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul Hembery admitted that the tyre supplier is willing to experiment with wider tyres in an attempt to re-balance aerodynamic and mechanical grip. Earlier this season, Felipe Massa suggested that Formula One could benefit from introducing wider tyres while also reducing downforce, which would enable the cars to follow each other through corners far more efficiently. Hembery added that Pirelli suggested introducing wider tyres for the 2014 F1 season, but some of the teams on the grid weren't interested and the idea was put on the back-burner for the time being. "That was one of the things we discussed last year when we first saw the new regulations - having...

Pirelli using stickers to enforce temperature limit
In the wake of reports that some teams are heating their tyres beyond the allowed limit, Pirelli has introduced a simple way to monitor them. The Italian manufacturer has affixed a small temperature-reactive sticker to the tread which records how hot the tyres are when they leave the tyre blankets. Pirelli prescribes a maximum temperature of 110°C (230°F), which should not be exceeded at any point before the tyre takes to the track. The company says the FIA will monitor the temperatures, among other parameters, before the cars take to the track in an effort to clampdown on teams taking advantage of the rules. "The FIA will ensure that this limit is respected, together with the...

Happy Halloween!!!!
Goooood morning Wanda, Happy Halloween.
Thanks, Wanda!! Glad you stopped by!!
SUVFan is celebrating a birthday & GB Anniversary tomorrow (Tuesday). Let's have a party !!
Hey Wanda been awhile hope all is well.
IT'S NOW OCT. 2014 & my latest observations on the Gas card giveaway. In case you also wonder how the server can say the winners are "randomly" chosen by the computer through some semi-secret formula where each entry (not person) is given 1 weight, I again checked the ratio or percentage of winners for most of OCT, 2014. Of the last 21 winners 9 or 43% had so few points as to still have 0 ranking. Do you think half of all points posted over the month of OCT. were posted by members with 0 ranking or do you think there must be a glitch in the computer "Random selection?
You will have to open my "Striking Photos" album and blow this one up to read it.
Congrats on the new pick 'em up
Good Morning Wanda. Happy Sweetest Day to you and yours! Have a great weekend.
Mudsprings and SquawBear asked me to tell you that they can't talk in the threads anymore. SquawBear can still do picture comments like she did on your picture.
Congrats on 1.5 million points!! That's great!! And a new red pickup too! Enjoy the ride & have a good week!

Stabbing Case Moves Forward Against 16-Year-Old
Submitted: 03/28/2013
Story By Kailey Burton
Play Video
- Violent crimes tend to grab our attention- even more so when a family member acts out against another family member.
Police arrested 16-year-old Michael Thimm back in December. He attacked his mother and her boyfriend with a buck knife when they were fighting over a computer. Thimm was in Oneida County Court today for his preliminary hearing.
Rather than arguing about what Thimm did, it seems the defense and prosecution will argue about whether Thimm understood what he was doing. That's because the teenager has a form of autism called Aspergers.
Judge Patrick O'Melia heard testimony from an investigator, a mental health expert, and Thimm himself. The main question: did he intend to kill his stepdad?
"Do you remember him asking, 'Did you intend to kill Joel?'" asked District Attorney Mike Schiek.
"Yes," answered Thimm.
But Thimm's defense team argued that because of his Aspergers he couldn't differentiate his intent to scare or injure Mr. Sandburg as opposed to kill him.
Judge O'Melia decided there's enough evidence to move forward with the case. Thimm is charged with attempted first degree intentional homicide. That charge is serious enough that he's automatically tried as an adult. But since he's only 16, he'll be back in court in May to try to get his case sent to the juvenille justice system.

- Only one farm in all of Wisconsin grows sugar beets.
Rine Ridge Farms is northeast of Antigo, in Bryant. The farm hopes more farmers will catch on to alternative dairy feed.

Merrill's old DNR Ranger Station will become brew pub
Submitted: 10/21/2014
Play Video
- The old DNR ranger station in Merrill will become a brew pub.
The city of Merrill sold the building to a company that plans on opening up the pub within the next year. The company plans on eventually becoming a microbrewery.
The building was built in 1940. The DNR opened up a new ranger station in a different spot in Merrill a few years ago.
"When the ranger station rebuilt this building was turned back to the city and we've used it for a couple of years now since we've had it for the park and recreations summer program," says Merrill City Administrator David Johnson. "We decided to sell the property when there was an interest shown in turning it into a business."

Spotlight on Bass
Spotlight on Bass
By Lisa Palmeno, Staff Writer
Bass players are often elusive characters, not needing, expecting, or even wanting, attention and recognition. In keeping with his chosen profession as a bassist, Chris Schachs quiet, unassuming manner and serious facial expressions indicate he is there to work.
The solidly versatile bassist backs Pistol Pete, never wavering as Pete shifts through a plethora of musical selections, gliding over the top and bringing fans high-energy, fast riffs, squealing chords, and feedback. Keeping up with such an expressive guitarist is not an easy task for a bass player, and Pete regularly lauds Schachs abilities: Weve been together for three years. Hes been a wonderful bass player and musician. Hes never late, always on time and a great person.
He has an unorthodox playing style, Pete continues. He started studying slap-funk technique, learning the blues and a lot of different music, learning about the soul of music. Thats what intrigues me about Chris; he really gets involved with playing from the soul. The essence of music is to be able to play everything. A real musician plays everything, and Chris has accomplished that.
An Auburn High School and Rockford College graduate, Schach has a bachelors degree in English and has been playing guitar and bass for 10 years each. He first formed his own three-piece band Alpha Jerk, playing guitar and singing. He describes Alpha Jerks music as a cross between Bad Brains and Janes Addiction. He picked up bass after that and started playing with what is now Whalebone, a band with which he still occasionally works. He also plays lead guitar with Silent Treatment, an Emo band from Chicago, keyboards, writes, sings, and substitute teaches music classes in the area.
Schach is definitely on the circuit, performing at many local gigs, Wisconsin venues and Chicago and the suburbs, including B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted, On The Waterfront, and headlining at the blues festival for two years in Hastings, Neb.
In addition to recording his own tracks, he will be the featured bassist on Petes live CD at Big Cities, due out soon.
Schach says he loved improvising with jam bands, playing live and is extremely spiritual about playing.
Music is a blessing and a burden, Chris says. Its a blessing because it allows you to transcend this reality and exist autonomously and exist in a parallel one; but then the burden is that you cant stop doing it, and it does takes away from other areas of your life, like friends and family. Society expects you to have a normal existence, and being a musician is certainly abnormal.
He prefers playing jazz fusion, because it encompasses all genres of music, and he only has one bass, a four-string Fender Precision Light, which he says hell stick with. He says he likes the way it feels, more slinky, light, easy to maneuver.
As for influences, he cites Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clark, Art Love and Freddie Miller. Schach emphasizes that, musically, he will continue to experiment and explore and reach higher levels of spiritual insight.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright -- the guy who almost derailed President Obama's campaign in 2008 -- is running his mouth again ... this time claiming the Obama camp tried to bribe him four years ago ... with $150k of hush money.
Mr. Wright -- President Obama's former pastor -- started a media frenzy when his controversial sermons surfaced and an "outraged" Obama was forced to publicly condemn him. But the reverend claims in went beyond that.
He tells the NY Post, "After the media went ballistic on me, I received an e-mail offering me money not to preach at all until the November presidential election."
Wright says the email -- and subsequent offer of $150k through one of the members of his church -- came from "one of Obama's closest friends."
According to the pastor, he met with Barack at one point during the election: "And one of the first things Barack said was, 'I really wish you wouldn't do any more public speaking until after the November election.' He knew I had some speaking engagements lined up, and he said, 'I wish you wouldn't speak. It's gonna hurt the campaign if you do that.'"
Among Wright's most damning sermons to come to light during the election ... he said the 9/11 attacks were "America's chickens are coming home to roost."
and he still needs to STFU...who cares Rev
Only people who what Lame stream media do not know this. ABC,CBS,NBC CNN ALL lie for libs. Watch Fox and get both sides. I went and started watching Fox News then watching others to compare. WOW the things the lame stream media dont cover is Amazing!!!!!!
Why would any man of God come forward and say he was paid off to stop preaching the Word? If you're a man of God, you wouldn't take the hush money and you certainly wouldn't stop giving sermons based on political reasons. If our Protus asked his preacher to stop speaking until after Elections then my opinion is: neither are men of God nor respect & honor.
Anyone who votes for this guy again is insane.
At this point, I am not surprised to learn that Barack Obama is a human, and as such, is subject to all things humans are, lying, pompousness, good, bad, and in between. I just wish others would wake to the fact that including those traits, he's just not that great of a president.
We still have rampant unemployment, downgraded credit, houses being lost left and right, energy loans gone bad, green industry being shown to be a shill game, his Arab Spring nonsense, and yet...
Novemeber cannot come quick enough to lift this cloud off of our nation.
This probably is true, and has to do with Obama actually being GAY.
His support of Gay Marriages had little to do with Biden's alleged Gaff. Biden's Gaff probably did slip out because he learned that Obama was Gay.
You figure. Tuff Roads ahead for these two. It could lose the election for him.
Ask Jesse Jackson why he wanted to cut Obama's private parts off in 2008? Wikileaks do***ents stolen from Austin Tx company suggest Obama also bribed him to shut up.
Obum and that weird old turd are sweet on each other
How can you call yourself a PASTOR when all you do is talk about people, do you not know the WORD JUDGE NOT FOR YOU SHALL BE JUDGED. For all of you PASTORS & SO CALLED PASTORS Practice what you preach and let GOD handle the rest.

"I have friends, but not in my classes, which makes you a target. You're the only one without a group, feeling like you're interrupting a conversation, and getting sympathy from the teacher. Being so quiet, it is so hard for me to stand up and make friends but I know what it's like to feel alone."

Business in brief
The 2012 Southern States Holiday Food Drive collected nearly 2.5 tons of canned, boxed and other stable food items for food banks and charitable organizations in 36 cities and towns in the company's south and mid-Atlantic regions. The drive, in its second year, was held Nov. 12 through Dec. 16. Southern States is a Richmond-based farm supply and service cooperative, founded in 1923 that now has more than 300,000 farmer-members.
Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc., of Henrico, is one of four Central Virginia companies accepted recently into the Virginia Economic Development Partnership's two-year Virginia Leaders in Export Trade (VALET) program. Fifty companies currently participate in the VALET program, which provides participating companies assistance from the commonwealth and from a team of experienced international service providers to help meet their international goals. To participate, each eligible business must meet several quantitative criteria and complete an application process. Participating firms are chosen based on their dedication to growth through export. More than 188 Virginia companies have been accepted to participate in the VALET program.
Bremo Pharmacy, a locally owned and operated pharmacy in Richmond for over 30 years, and the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Pharmacy have joined forces to improve medication management and outcomes for seniors in Central Virginia. Seniors are at increased risk of medication adverse events, side effects, interactions, overlap in therapy and poor outcomes. Many of the symptoms that are considered a normal part of aging, such as confusion, falls, depression and incontinence, can be common side effects of the medications that seniors take. In order to reduce these risks and allow seniors to live more independently, the School of Pharmacy and Bremo will offer a variety of services, including medication checkups, special packaging, home delivery, automated refilling, reconciliation of hospital discharges and personal medication profiles for patients to keep with them at all times. For details, visit http://www.bremorx.com .

A terrible, horrible movie. . . that's actually pretty good
'Alexander' provides uncomplicated family fun
It's not surprising in the least that Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day doesn't much resemble the book it's based upon.
Judith Viorst's 1972 picture book isn't exactly overflowing with movie-worthy material. Boy has bad day. Boy is informed that everyone has bad days sometimes. Then, the back cover.
In the film, the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad-ness is blown up to more extreme size. Alexander Cooper (Ed Oxenbould) has a bum day every day, while the rest of his family (Steve Carell, Jennifer Garner, Dylan Minnette, Kerris Dorsey) exist in a constant bubble of perfection and cheery optimism – to the point that the family is so wrapped up in their own success that Alexander's being ignored.
So on the eve of his 12th birthday, Alexander makes a wish: just once, he'd like his family to see things from his perspective; to experience the crushing disappointment of one of those no good, very bad days. Once he has blown out the candle on his pre-birthday ice cream sundae, his family's fate is sealed: one full day of crippling disasters for all of them. > Read more.

It was all fun and games -- mixed in with some serious competition -- at the Durham Center for Senior Life Tuesday afternoon.
Police and senior citizens gathered at the center on Rigsbee Avenue to compete in a variation of the Olympics, except this annual game doesn't have a full-sized track or big-name athletes. Instead it has pool cues and horseshoes.
Public confidence in the Durham Police Department dropped in early 2014, with only 43.5 percent of the people who answered a survey saying they thought the department was doing a good job.
While pharmaceutical company Argos Therapeutics debated a site for its headquarters and manufacturing lab, Durham wasn't always at the top of the list.
"There were a couple places outside North Carolina (that) had a significant amount of incentives in place, especially for a cancer company," said Argos President and CEO Jeff Abbey. "At one point, I didn't think we were going to get there with Durham."
Voters will decide Nov. 4 if three Durham County District Court judges keep their seats in a race that has often focused on evaluation of their performance by fellow attorneys.
Incumbent Nancy Gordon and challenger Fred Battaglia so far have garnered the most contributions to their campaigns for a Durham County District Court judgeship among the six contenders for three seats, according to campaign finance reports filed with the North Carolina Board of Elections.
A committee of the University of North Carolina system's governing board Thursday will consider a pilot program that would allow changes to minimum admissions standards at N.C. Central University and two other schools.
One person died and another was injured when a small plane crashed in northern Durham County Tuesday afternoon.
Friends of Durham, one of the city's three major political-action committees, has announced endorsements in the race for three Durham County District Court judgeships.
Twelve Jordan High School students joined a multi-school team in writing a winning proposal for the national NASA Student Launch program.
Duke Chapel hosted a panel discussion about violence and justice this week with those who know it firsthand through their life or work.
So far, Rasheed Sulaimon's time in a Duke uniform has matched how the Blue Devils have fared as a whole.
Two years ago, as a freshman, Sulaimon played in every game, starting all but three, as Duke reached the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight.
Last year, struggling to find his role, Sulaimon started only 17 times, riding the bench one entire game, on a Duke team that went 26-9 and lost its only NCAA Tournament game.
Now the 6-4 guard is a junior, one of Duke's veteran players on a team in which the play of its freshmen will go a long way towards determining how the season goes.
Sulaimon figures to have an important role but only if he's mentally ready to accept it no matter what he's asked to do.
After getting NCCU to the Division I NCAA Tournament this past season for the first time, Moton said he had opportunities to take his talent to the NBA as an assistant coach. A praying wife and a fantastic chancellor kept him in Durham, the coach said.
NCCU frustrated by inability to put away Morgan State in fourth quarter of what turned into 21-20 loss. Eagles hope to close the lid on Savannah State on Saturday.
Plus more local ACC honors in this edition of "Fanfare."
With three minutes left and North Carolina trailing by one against Georgia Tech, quarterback Marquise Williams was getting ready to lead the offense back on the field when he turned to coach Larry Fedora. "He said, 'No big deal, we do it every week,'" Fedora said.
Ladd, Lowry, Byfuglien score, lift Jets past Hurricanes in opener of Western road swing.
Administrators at UNC-Chapel Hill have been working to respond to a mandate from the system's Board of Governors to reduce the student health fee.
As I write this column, two health care workers in Dallas have come down with Ebola after treating Thomas Eric Duncan, who traveled from West Africa and died from the disease. By the time you read it, there will most likely be more cases.
Still, there's no need for panic.
While pharmaceutical company Argos Therapeutics debated a site for its headquarters and manufacturing lab, Durham wasn't always at the top of the list.
"There were a couple places outside North Carolina (that) had a significant amount of incentives in place, especially for a cancer company," said Argos President and CEO Jeff Abbey. "At one point, I didn't think we were going to get there with Durham."
SoomSoom Pita Pockets, a food truck focused on a fusion of Middle Eastern and American cuisine, has begun service in Durham and surrounding areas.
The 21c Museum Hotel, which will open early next year at 111 N. Corcoran St., will have a restaurant focused on North Carolina's seafood heritage.
When Ellen Gray started her psychotherapy private practice 15 years ago, she wanted to see people from all socio-economic backgrounds.
Jasmine Cousar is well-liked by her peers at J.D. Clement Early College High School and has earned the respect of her teachers and school leaders.
It's well known that I'm no fan of the energy draining heat and humidity of our North Carolina summer. I watch for the subtlest of changes to leaf colors the way a middle school boy looks for whiskers on his upper lip.
When my first column appeared almost 20 years ago I looked a lot younger and was confident that the low-fat way I'd lost more than 100 pounds was the healthiest way to lose weight. Here it is 20 years later and I now know that fats were not the unhealthy culprit I thought they were.
Q. Yesterday, my next-door neighbor (a nurse in our local monster-size hospital) vented aggressively about doctors she witnesses moving from patient to patient without washing their hands or wearing gloves. According to her, MRSA and C. diff infections are rampant at this hospital.

She sits at the window seat surveying the world in front of her, as though she were a Queen bee watching the mere mortals buzzing about their daily work.
Never sitting in her seat properly, always finding some 'creative' way to position her 'derrière' on the stool, that usually entails unveiling some part of either her under wear, legs or bottom to the rest of the café.
Poor thing is having a bad day today, or be specific, her actual greeting upon entering our establishment, late on this Tuesday afternoon was:
'I am having a shit day and for absolutely no reason!'
The first time I met her, she said 'You're Irish.'
Must have one of those degrees in 'Stating the obvious'.
She told me that she lived in Ireland ten years ago and that she went to a certain school and she was bullied and bullied so much that she went to a barber shop and shaved her head.
I knew by the first couple of seconds of conversation, or more precisely, her talking at me, that the smart decision here, would be not to ask why she would shave off her hair to amend such a situation.
I had also figured out in those first few seconds that the condescending, upper class English whines that spewed from her gob as she moaned, probably were not received with hugs and kisses in Dublin.
This rant I had thrown at me when I first asked her if she was having her flat white for 'here or takeaway', as she continued to blather at me expecting to apologise on behalf of the peoples of Éire. Maybe I should have asked the President if he could write a letter of apology to her, as I am sure he would have done that quicker, than she would have decided where she is consuming her beverage.
Poor petal, today she was having a bad day for absolutely no reason and no amount of me saying anything or not saying anything was going to make anything any better, this afternoon is a one way ticket to Infuriation-vile, via Exasperation-town and Vexation city.
At least today I had established that she would be a having a mint tea to sit in, that's some consolation. Perched on her throne she had began to flick threw her touch screen phone, choosing the next victim in her phone book. Some poor soul is probably enjoying a lovely afternoon in a park, maybe having a picnic in the sun, 'Pimms' on the green, and unbeknownst to them, the wicked witch of the East is about to gather dark clouds over their day.
Such a whine! Why do they answer the phone to her? Does she block her number so they don't know it's her, or does she have some spell that can make her number come up as someone else's number on their phone, so they think they are answering a phone call from their Mother, then, tragedy.
'I am having the WORST day ever and I don't know why!'
No 'Hello how are you?' no?' Just straight in with your counselling session?
I did suggest to her one day that she probably has some medication that she hasn't taken but she insisted that she doesn't use any medications because she doesn't need them. I would love to have a conversation with her GP.
'No, I can't even blame anyone it's awful, it's just a shit day'.
She always does this on a Tuesday afternoon when the café is empty and us little bee workers like to scrub the shop early and get out, go home, make some dinner, nice relaxed evening.
She will of course insist on sitting there right until closing time with one, maybe two other customers there. But they know the vibe, they know it's quiet, they know if they leave, then we can leave early, no one's making anymore money at this stage. They're cool, they think about other human beings in the world.
I bring her the mint tea and the next phase of operation infuriation has begun. Not only is she, mid phone call, putting her feet on the stool next to her, she is wearing those ridiculous looking short socks or 'Pomp' socks. Of course they are see through and frilly, they look like tights from the 70's gone wrong. The shoes are off obviously and now she twiddles her inquisitive toes discovering every inch of that stool.
I have to say it to her, I should:
'it's disgusting, this is not on. People are trying to eat here or have a coffee and you have your manky toes fingering stool legs!'
It's one of those moments where you know that you're not the only one that feels this way. She needs to be told. She's a regular, she's in here all the time and I bet I'm not the only one who's head she has being doing in. I bet if I say something here, it'll be a moment like out of the films, like 'As good as it gets' and all the people will stand up and applaud when I tell her:
'Look we've all had enough, you're attitude stinks as bad as your feet, I'm sure you were attractive once upon a time, but you're a sour fish now and we have no need for your custom anymore. Please leave you toad.'
I could possibly risk losing my job here, but it's worth risking as I walk up to her, they may even give me a pay rise, they probably hate her too.
I approach and she doesn't even look up from the phone:
'Is it too late to have a Granola?'
Keep calm, keep cool, no need to the use of bad language, don't let her drag you down to her level.
She's a genius. She's also made me look like a fool when I have to go into the chef at 5:30pm on a Tuesday and say: 'Em can you do a Granola for table 1' and he looks at me like I am going to get his frying pan across the back of my head.
'Are you serious?' he hisses.
I get back to cleaning the shop floor and the other customers have politely left, it's just me and her on the floor. I stand, watching her whine, while I think about the broom in my hand. If chef isn't looking, and she doesn't see me coming, there are no cameras no one would know. I'd have to be quick, quiet and ninja-like, but I can do that. It will have to be a clean hit though, swift and firm to make sure she is knocked unconscious. I'll just pretend she's fainted when she awakes.
'Granola, order up.'
I take the dish from the kitchen and as I walk up to her my blood begins to boil again as she has moved into the next stage of the act: 'Talking about the divorce'.
'I mean I don't think people realise I've been through a very difficult divorce this past year'.
Difficult for who exactly? I want to meet the man, or the saint who was at the alter with this chick. Was he on heroin when he decided that he was going to be with this woman till death do them part? He must have been dreaming of beautiful ways to die when he sobered up.
I know that one is supposed to be positive in life and always look at the bright side of situations, but having thought long and hard about this particular strife, I have decided that I, hate, this woman. I hate everything about her. I know that's probably wrong and maybe I'll even get past it one day, but today I hate her.
Perhaps the thing to do is to let her know, maybe then she will never come back.
I put the granola down and she begins to eat it without recognising how it got there.
I mop the floors, put up the stools, turn off the music, shutter down, still nothing she sits there:
'I need a holiday'
Of course you do dear. Finally at 6pm on the button, she begins to make gestures to move, slip the pomps on, hands me the half eaten bowl of granola all while still talking down the phone. Is there even anyone on the line or is she talking to the Samaritans? They'll need to talk to a professional after she's called in.
She slowly drags her feet to the door. Does she even know my name?
I want to tell her, scream at her as she leaves, 'I hate you!' but she is already out the door and all I can muster is a middle finger to her from underneath the counter.
Then just as I think my evening is free of her clutches, her head reappears through the doorway, still on the phone. She looks at me, with a twinkly smile:
'Thank you'
And with all my might, and every part of my being, with all I have wanted to say from every time she has called in I let out:
'You're very welcome have a lovely evening.'

'We are dreamers and that is the way it is. We are made for this'.
Petra sends me a voice mail from Austria. A former philosophy student in Vienna, she is driving her car to her friend's house as she speaks, because her mind can paint pictures better that way.
'We all carry dreams with us; we picture things in our mind just to keep us going. That's why regret comes close to dreams or wishes.'
Regret. That word has spun in my head for the past week. Living away from friends and family can bring moments of weakness and tiredness in which the mind, body and soul can collapse quite quickly.
We are artists. We are souls and these souls need to dream to live, but what is this thing that creeps in my head some days? Is it just me?
Jane lives in New York City, the city of dreams. Moved from Ireland five years ago this summer and I ask her about it.
'I'm a 30 something year old with no career, don't talk to me about regret', I can hear her smiling.
Let's talk about it I say! We can't deny it, ignore it or pretend these feelings don't exist from time to time. So what is it that brings upon this time of hurt, of wishing 'what if?'
Recent times have led me to up sticks from familiar surroundings and leave them behind. This one suspicious boat of opportunity comes down the river and I jumped on it leaving everything behind. Some days it feels like I am on the wrong boat and some days it feels like great excitement of what is to come next.
So you could say I am standing on the boat looking back and thinking. The past becomes smaller and further away.
Jane continues:
'Is regret maybe linked with our realisation of our own mortality? Do we feel it more in our twenties and thirties?' This panicked feeling that every little error is sealing out fate and dragging us away from the perfect world or perfect self that we long for!'
I remember reading a John Lennon quote where he spoke about the necessity to create 'the torture of having to get up everyday and create something and make something'.
That feeling is what drove me to move. Bob Dylan says that be it inside or outside, 'you gotta keep moving.'
Artists are not built to conform to scheduled ways of a working life; we are born to imagine, to create and to dream. We live in this world of dreams.
Yet there are days when the real world is too much to take. Where the dreams seem so far away and getting up is not as easy as everyone likes to think. Such as the wondering of things I left behind.
There was a time when all of us didn't think about such things; a time when worry didn't exist, a time when the imagination was all that there was and a time when you could fly 'past the stars on silver wings and it was wonderful'- Matilda (Roald Dahl).
Jane's latest adventure makes it seem as though regret could no longer come into the dream.
'Becoming a parent makes me so aware of how everyone transfers their own issues onto their kids, trying to guide them, creatively, spiritually or academically, but it doesn't work, it often damages. There are no regrets for kids because they are just free. They just operate out of their own uniqueness'
Sitting in a London warehouse that is now my abode; a loft in South Tottenham. There are rats, stabbings and plenty of characters which surround me. The things around me sometimes do not smell of the things in my dreams.
The death of the great Philip Seymour Hoffman broke a lot hearts. What an amazing artist, a generous man and a committed actor. A man flawed like us all, who had to carry his own demons. The world feeling robbed of never seeing him bring himself to the work again.
In Paul Thomas Anderson's epic film, 'The Master', Hoffman plays the leader of a new religion (inspired by scientology) that uses a method called programming to fix the wrongs of our past lives. To bring us back to our 'inherent state of perfect.'
In one of the most beautiful scenes of the picture, Hoffman's character, Lancaster Dodd, puts a Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix), through a session of programming.
Freddie who is a wreck less soul is also a potion brewer, a man who has many women, a soldier who came back from World War Two and who has been running from himself ever since. He is a free man carrying the burdens of having no foundation in his life. There is a connection between the two characters throughout the film; a fascination with each other, the Master and the scoundrel become close.
Lancaster Dodd watches Freddie breakdown through a programming session as he is hammered with questions that break his heart:
Lancaster Dodd: Do you often think about how inconsequential you are?
Freddie Quell: Yes.
Lancaster Dodd: Do you believe God will save you?
Freddie Quell: No.
Lancaster Dodd: Have you ever had sex with a member of your family?
Lancaster Dodd: Are you lying?
The scene continues as Lancaster Dodd intermittently asks throughout:
Lancaster Dodd: Do you regret this?
Quell continuously denies any regret right until the end when he's heart is pierced with the truth of a pain he lives with.
Lancaster Dodd: Is Doris the love of your life?
Freddie Quell: Yes, sir.
Lancaster Dodd: Then why aren't you with her?
Freddie Quell: I don't know.
Lancaster Dodd: Yes you do. Tell me why you are not with her if you love her so much.
Freddie Quell: I told her I'd come back and I never went back and now I just… I gotta get back to her.
Lancaster Dodd: Why don't you go back?
Lancaster Dodd: Why aren't you with that lovely girl?
Freddie Quell: (Screams) I don't know!
Quell breaking into tears, totally immersing himself into the pain of the memories The Master ends the session announcing Freddie as:
'The bravest man I ever met'.
No asking about regret as it pours out in every tear from Freddie's eyes. Here, regret takes on it's other meaning, to regret, or to repent, or say, or to be sorry.
I am still standing on this boat that travels down river and I'm looking back. But I take a brief moment to look in the mirror at something quite beautiful. We are not talking about aesthetics, vanity or the trappings of a consumer society. Instead, there are some signs of where we've come from. I'll see lines and marks on a face, on the body that have come from the journey so far. I will see eyes that have been worn and weathered but behind them there is a soul that is quietly burning its own flame of truth.
These marks are things of beauty, there is no returning to perfect, for we are beauty where we stand.
'When you are dreaming, in your dreams, you can put in anything. There are no boundaries, and everything is possible!'
Petra is adamant, fixed on the fact that the boat still moves forwards.
'For me there are only two types of regrets; the type when you hurt some one, or you did someone wrong… but not just anyone. You don't regret like this with any person, you regret people that were special to you. You regret something bad you did to someone you cared about. You say sorry for this, then it is over, it can no longer exist.'
As the boat moves forward and I've had some rest, the tank refills and there is realisation of the things that have floated by.
But floated by is what they have done. So let them.
I ask one more question of Jane. Do you regret your 18 month old son?
'eh… he is a vision. The best thing that ever happened to me'
I remember the child like state that we all have enjoyed.
'Nothing I cared, in the lamb white days, that time would take me' – Dylan Thomas
We didn't care then. We didn't look back and we certainly didn't regret. We just did, and we stuck true as true can be to that little flame inside.
I take a turn around and I look ahead. The regrets are dreams that went wrong. That didn't happen. But why not drop them over the side and keep the load light?
The great journey is getting to the dreams ahead. No longer is it time to wallow and regret. It's time to get to those dreams.
Don't regret to dream.

Chance Street, Shoreditch
All I need now is a football……
'Where do I go for my Lunch?' I ask my new boss. He's different to back home too, he's proper,speaks proper like… he's English. Some directions are given but I won't remember any of it, so I walk out the doors of the Ace Hotel, it's lobby full of people running their own businesses on their MacBooks, the flower pots, the juice bar, the coffee bar, it's different, it's cool, in a good way. I walk in search of a place that does nice eggs.
Streets full of cobbles, red bricks, spray paint and posters for the first time since the very unplanned jump over to 'Blighty' I begin to feel a little something in the air. This isn't the London I've known from before. It's not visits to Leicester square and number 10. No trips to Drama school reciting Shakespeare. I'm not eating fish and chips outside Highbury singing terrace chants in a cockney accent. I've been watching it all around me this time round, it's electric.
I happen upon another seemingly derelict building, it's just around the corner from 'Chance Street'. Outside a poster gives the sign to all the people who gather this special thing: 'OASIS'. An exhibition with unseen photos, videos and memorabilia of the great brit pop band called 'CHASING THE SUN'. It's here for 10 days only to mark 20 years of the debut album 'DEFINITELY MAYBE.' Inside crowds take photos of the photos of the band. There's guitars, parka coats, a replica room of the album cover of 'Definitely Maybe' where people can take their photos in, and of course the music. Blaring out the album, Rock n'roll star, Live forever……it's impossible to not be inspired. The band of unemployed Mancunians, who went and took on the world…. via London.
Leaving the place all a buzz, I get what it is that's here. The great coffee shops/ barber shops/ gig venues, multipurpose cinema thats a place to do what ever the fuck you want too! There's banksy and Conor Harrington pieces on the walls of the streets, theres goes Alex Turner…. it's here.
It's like every idea you ever had about making something, someone did it here, and they weren't afraid to try it out. They created themselves. You want to be a rock n' roll star?
'You can wait for a lifetime to spend your days in the sunshine…..you gotta make it happen' Whatever it is that I want to make, I can touch it here.
I head home that night, to the loft in a warehouse I live in…..
Yes Mammy, I live in warehouse, "IMPERIAL WORKS" at the end of a street of warehouses, where the air smells of burning weed and the shit of a Rottweiller. Where the the black, crack smoking beggar calls me a cunt, and the rain drips through the roof. Where the raves last for two days before a warehouse is cordoned off…someone's dead… yes…again.
It's ok I really don't mind, because now I'm living on chance street and it doesn't matter what's going on around here, because there are indeed, those of us who are,
Chasing the sun.
Found this today….. Just what was needed. #johnlennon #lennon #beatles #lennonremembers

University of Nebraska-Lincoln researchers predict weak growth this summer for Nebraska's economy, with the state's Leading Economic Indicator falling slightly in March.
The forecast has been up and down in recent months but still positive overall, said economist Eric Thompson.
"This uneven pattern of growth in the leading indicator is consistent with weak but positive economic growth in the Nebraska economy over the next six months," Thompson said.
Only one of the index's six components improved in March: Business owners who responded to UNL's survey said "they expect solid improvements in sales and employment in their business over the next six months," according to Thompson's report.
However, manufacturing hours fell, a pattern seen throughout the northern Plains in March, Thompson said. Airline passenger counts declined, as did the number of building permits issued for single-family homes. Unemployment claims rose, and so did the value of the dollar, which limits future export activity. All told, the index fell 0.39 percent in March.
The university's measure of the current size of the state economy continued to grow in March, with rising wages and employment, and expanding electricity sales. However, agricultural commodities prices fell and reports of declining business conditions kept the growth to just a scant 0.06 percent.

Swiss company Unmanned Systems is showing a model of its Orca rotary-wing unmanned air vehicle for the first time here at Dubai. The Orca employs a revolutionary tip-jet propulsion method that not only improves performance in many key areas, but also overcomes many of the operational problems encountered with conventional propulsion methods.

The announcement of the new joint venture between Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney on mid-sized engines was hardly a statement of marriage, but the vows made by the two aero-engine giants on 12 October nevertheless secure their long-term future in the huge market for mid-sized aero-engines up to 2030.
Turbomeca plans to reduce the specific fuel consumption (SFC) of its turboshaft engines by 37 percent by 2030, and at the Helitech 2011 show discussed the strategies it is implementing to accomplish that change. While the company plans to make changes to the engine machinery, it expects much of the reduction to come from engine-airframe integration and new practices that make more efficient use of the engine.
ACES Systems, a division of Technology for Energy Corp. headquartered in Knoxville, Tenn., is at Booth No. N2311 to acquaint NBAA convention-goers with its line of aviation vibration and acoustical analysis and balancing equipment for airframe and engine ground test and test cell applications.
GE is here with three major programs at various stages of development. The Passport 20, for Bombardier's Global 7000 and 8000 large-cabin business jets, has already passed some rig tests. The GE Honda HF120, for the HondaJet and the (currently suspended) Spectrum Freedom, is scheduled for certification in 2012. Meanwhile, the HF80 turboprop is due for certification later this year.
Pre-owned business jet, turboprop and helicopter markets showed early signs of improvement in the first half of this year, which is expected to be a second year of correction leading to sustained growth in 2012, according to market information provider JetNet. The company reported 15.3-percent growth in pre-owned business jet retail sale transactions through June compared with the same period in 2010.
Boeing delivered the first 737NG powered by CFM56-7BE turbofans–a 737-800–to China Southern Airlines at Boeing Field in Seattle last week. The new engines, now standard on all new 737s, includes improvements to the high-pressure compressor, a new outlet-guide-vane diffuser, fewer high-pressure-turbine blades and an "optimized" low-pressure turbine.
Both the U.S.-registered business jet and turboprop segments worldwide experienced more fatal accidents in the first half of this year, compared with the same period last year, according to preliminary figures compiled by AIN.
